San Diego Comic-Con to
Be Held Virtually in 2021.
Comic-Con has announced that their 2021 San Diego
convention will be held virtually from July 23 to 25. .
Their announcement said that it was “too early”
to “safely” hold the convention in-person. .
While we are buoyed by the rollout of
the vaccine and the growing number
of individuals being inoculated, it
appears that July will still be too early
to safely hold an in-person event of
the magnitude of Comic-Con, Comic-Con, via press release.
Additionally, Comic-Con announced that
the event would be scaled down from a five-day to
three-day event due to “financial challenges.” .
Unfortunately, the challenges
of this past year and the multiple
postponements of our two largest
events have left us with limited
financial resources, Comic-Con, via press release.
Comic-Con intends to hold a
“smaller in-person event”
in November 2021.
They did not provide additional
information on the event and instead said
they were “working on specific details.” .
As the timing and scope of our
larger event factored greatly into
our decision to postpone, we
believe that launching a smaller
in-person event at a later time
may be a safe alternative, Comic-Con, via press release
